<h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=8110">Creating and Using Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) Events</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left:8px;"><img src='http://services.netbeans.org/appl/show_image.php?id=7408&column=image&table=story&type=image/png&db=services&db_type=pear&id_col=story_id'

The CDI event model allows beans to send events to one another without a compile-time dependency, and beans may create their own event payloads - a class that contains information pertinent to the event. Using CDI events, one bean can define the event, another can fire the event and a third can handle the event. And unlike with other event models, you can add listeners (observers) without registering them as listeners.</p><br style="clear:both;"/>
